Logistics

Third party logistics companies play an important part of today’s supply chain. Logistics companies offer services that can allow businesses to outsource part of or all of their supply chain management function. This makes good business sense because by outsourcing logistics services businesses can reallocate resources so that more focus is placed on core competencies.

At the same time outsourced logistics keeps assets and overhead costs low. Choosing the right outsourced third party logistics company is a serious and large operational decision. There are many options to consider and so before outsourcing the services of a transport and logistics company it is important to do your homework. Third-party logistics services include but are not limited to; inbound freight, outbound freight, warehousing, packing, freight-forwarding and cross-docking order fulfillment functions.

The scope in this industry is varied and you have the option of everything from a one-man show using a small truck to transport goods, to a fleet of transport vehicles which travel the length and breadth of South Africa’s roads. Because it’s such a vital part of your business, it’s sometimes hard to sift through the varying outsourcing options and make a decision.
